As we prepare for a brand new season of Eccles Business Buzz launching this fall, we’re bringing back some of your favorite episodes from our archive. 

Today, we revisit a timely conversation from Season 8 about the new strategic direction at the David Eccles School of Business with a particular focus on student success. 

Greg Goff is  founder of the University of Utah’s Goff Strategic Leadership Institute. Greg is also the founder and president of GJG Energy, the CEO of Clear Technologies, and founder and CEO of Manifest Energy Transition Company.

In this episode Greg highlights the importance of early leadership skills, experiential learning, and the overarching goal of preparing students to be successful faster. He also shares insights from his rich career and early beginnings in a family business, emphasizing his own early lessons in responsibility, ownership, and teamwork. Greg and host Frances Johnson also also discuss the expanded reach and impact of the Goff Institute, thanks to a recent generous $10 million gift, and the broader implications that has for the University of Utah and its students.
